We are at a critical juncture. Humanity faces the dual challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, largely due to our current economic systems. Yet, nature itself offers potential remedies. By preserving our natural environments, we can counter up to 37% of climate threats. Nature-based solutions (NbS), harness the power and capabilities of natural ecosystems and biodiversity. In turn, nature markets put a monetary value on nature's indispensable services, thus promoting conservation. With CO2 levels on the rise, endangering biodiversity and ecosystems, the link between the two is evident. Embracing nature can not only mitigate climate issues but also pave the way for a sustainable economic model in harmony with the UN's developmental goals.
